:02:12. > :02:14.a BBC Inside Out investigathon into online claims that Peter Jaconelli
:02:15. > :02:18.was a paedophile. After that the police said they wanted to speak to
:02:19. > :02:20.at least five people, who s`y they were assaulted or propositioned as
:02:21. > :02:24.children by Jaconelli. An online blog called Real Whitby told Inside
:02:25. > :02:28.Out it had heard from a number of alleged victims who claim they were
:02:29. > :02:31.abused. And today the man bdhind the blog is sceptical about the police
:02:32. > :02:35.referral. I regard it as a positive development. I am sceptical about
:02:36. > :02:39.how much we can rely on the IPCC to a job. After all, everybody knows
:02:40. > :02:42.that most of the IPCC personel are former police officers and there is
:02:43. > :02:46.no doubt in my mind there h`s been at least a two generation cover up

:02:51. > :02:54.Everybody in Scarborough is aware of it, and yet for some reason the
:02:55. > :02:56.council has lavished this on us and Jimmy Savile and Peter Jaconelli,

:03:04. > :03:06.assaulted him in his van, and that what was going on was well known in
:03:07. > :03:09.Scarborough. He gave his re`ction to the IPCC referral from Australia
:03:10. > :03:13.today. He was widely known hn Scarborough, so I would say that if
:03:14. > :03:16.the police force didn't know about it, they must have been the only
:03:17. > :03:23.ones in Scarborough not to know about it. It is a bad reflection on
:03:24. > :03:28.them. After I had told the polioce officer what had happened, he said
:03:29. > :03:31.he believed me. He was award of similar stories, but that Pdter
:03:32. > :03:44.Jaconelli was a town councillor a county councillor I think. He ran a

:04:32. > :04:36.have sympathy with the victhms. Tonight, the very latest is that a
:04:37. > :04:41.motion has been brought forward by the leader of Scarborough Borough
:04:42. > :04:51.Council to discuss the statts of Peter Jaconelli as a matter of
:04:52. > :04:54.urgency. My Children in Middlesbrough could be sent to
:04:55. > :04:57.secondary school earlier to try to improve failing exam results. That's
:04:58. > :05:00.just one radical proposal bding considered, after Ofsted sahd the
:05:01. > :05:03.local council needed to takd urgent action to improve the town's
:05:04. > :05:06.schools. It said exam results for Middlesbrough's children were well
:05:07. > :05:13.below the national average. Stuart Whincup reports.
:05:14. > :05:18.This head teacher has been here for 17 years. She says much of Ofsted
:05:19. > :05:22.report was unfair, made generalisations and was oftdn
:05:23. > :05:28.inaccurate. In fact, more than 0% of these primary schools here are
:05:29. > :05:33.rated good or outstanding. Ht makes me sad and angry. Anybody who works
:05:34. > :05:41.here, the commitment to the children is huge. You put your life's work
:05:42. > :05:49.into it. As far as I can sed, that report was not there. Ofsted's
:05:50. > :05:51.report was damning. Exam results for Middlesbrough's children were well
:05:52. > :05:56.below the national average. Progress slowed down after primary school,
:05:57. > :06:01.and half of secondary school children were at school is
:06:02. > :06:06.considered less than good. So why is Middlesbrough doing so badlx? Summer
:06:07. > :06:16.was higher at a news don't go to secondary schools. `` some of our
:06:17. > :06:21.high achievers. We do have ` lot of children who don't achieve ` grade C
:06:22. > :06:25.at their GCSEs in both thosd subjects. Much of the blame is
:06:26. > :06:30.levelled at the town second`ry schools, and the council adlits
:06:31. > :06:34.results have not been good dnough. One idea being considered is to move
:06:35. > :06:39.children from primary schools to secondary schools earlier, so they
:06:40. > :06:42.will find it easier to saddle in. In the half term, primary school
:06:43. > :06:48.children move up with their class teacher into the secondary school.
:06:49. > :06:54.They can do sport and the things they like to do in the last term.

:13:41. > :13:45.be about to be played. It is important to preserve cinem`s like
:13:46. > :13:50.this that have the history behind it. It has been similar things over
:13:51. > :13:58.its lifetime, and it needs to continue. The council, which owns
:13:59. > :14:01.the cinema and leases it out, can't say for certain whether a mtltiplex
:14:02. > :14:05.is coming until a planning application is received. But it says
:14:06. > :14:13.it wants to retain the Regent and the business. There is no intention
:14:14. > :14:16.to demolish the building and no intention to do away with the
:14:17. > :14:19.business of the cinema. But campaigners aren't happy. Why hasn't
:14:20. > :14:23.the council invested in the cinema facade, they ask. After all, it has
:14:24. > :14:26.a history. It featured in the film Atonement. And in the 1950s Billy
:14:27. > :14:30.Breen, aka Larry Grayson, w`s chilled by the wind, as a stage door
:14:31. > :14:40.blew open. And a catchphrasd was born. A lot of people think it is

:14:54. > :15:02.doesn't belong. `` all tattx. We want to preserve it rather than sell
:15:03. > :15:06.it off. The Regent's appeal then is that it isn't a multiplex. Hts
:15:07. > :15:09.foundations are steeped in lusic hall and cinema history. History,

:20:23. > :20:27.on what kind of mood he is hn. He can be a little bit moody and he
:20:28. > :20:33.sometimes his runs reflect that He can be good sometimes or get out of
:20:34. > :20:36.bed on the wrong side. If hd jumps on Saturday like that he'll be all
:20:37. > :20:39.right. As with any big race, preparation has been carefully
:20:40. > :20:43.planned, with his final jumping session taking place this wdek. The
:20:44. > :20:46.fences here are considerablx smaller than what he will face tomorrow
:20:47. > :20:53.though from this angle suffhcient, says his jockey, to keep hil sharp
:20:54. > :20:58.and focused. If someone asks you what do and you say you are jockey,
:20:59. > :21:03.they ask if you have ridden in a Grand National. After Saturday, I
:21:04. > :21:11.will say yes. He is just incredibly well. I put my arms out and he is
:21:12. > :21:14.well. He is ready. The National is of course with well`known d`ngers
:21:15. > :21:21.and recently the daunting fdnces have been modified and made safer.
:21:22. > :21:26.Back here in the yard the r`ce on Saturday is seen as a calculated
:21:27. > :21:29.risk. Rose of the Moon couldn't have been prepared any better, and on
:21:30. > :21:35.Saturday it'll be Kirsty's job to have him ready for the biggdst race
:21:36. > :21:42.of his life. Everybody works for this race. It is great to bd a part
:21:43. > :21:45.of it this year. We will be nervous but excited at the same timd, so
:21:46. > :21:51.hopefully fingers crossed hd will do his best. The bookies have Rose of
:21:52. > :21:53.the Moon at 33 to one, but `s a proven jumper who will enjox the
:21:54. > :22:05.soft going tomorrow, North Yorkshire's horse may well be worth
:22:06. > :22:08.an outside bet. Newcastle Eagles Player`Coach Fab
:22:09. > :22:10.Flournoy has won the BBL Co`ch of the Month award. The table`topping
:22:11. > :22:14.Eagles take on third`placed Sheffield Sharks at Sports Central
:22:15. > :22:17.tonight. It could go a long way to deciding who'll win the title. And
:22:18. > :22:20.play`off chasing Durham Wildcats could do their local rivals a favour
:22:21. > :22:35.if they beat BBL Trophy winners Worcester Wolves.
:22:36. > :22:43.I know Newcastle United beat Manchester United in 1996, before
:22:44. > :22:48.anyone writes in. I knew. Should we move on to the weather? Well, it
:22:49. > :22:51.doesn't feel a lot like sprhng here at the moment ` but it's already
:22:52. > :22:55.time to reveal our winning Larch weather picture. And Paul Mooney's
:22:56. > :22:58.here to tell us more. To find this month's judges ` Hannah Baylan
:22:59. > :23:01.dropped in on a sleep over for hundreds of Brownies at Newcastle's
:23:02. > :23:02.Centre for Life. They were there to celebrate the organisation's
:23:03. > :23:24.centenary. Here's her report. It is a big celebration. It is
:23:25. > :23:27.something that will never h`ppen again in these girls' lives, so it
:23:28. > :23:31.is a fantastic opportunity for them to sleep somewhere where thdy would
:23:32. > :23:35.not normally and get togethdr with girls from around the area. They
:23:36. > :23:38.have visited the planetariul and signed shows, probably with not much
:23:39. > :23:42.sleep, but they are excited at the different activities they c`n do
:23:43. > :23:46.inside the museum. I think the leaders and the girls 100 ydars ago
:23:47. > :23:50.would not have dreamt that this could be going on. It would be a lot
:23:51. > :23:53.more formal and the uniform would have been stiff and starchy, but
:23:54. > :23:58.nowadays it is quite relaxed and the girls have a great time. We have
:23:59. > :24:03.moved with the times becausd you want to be relevant to todax's
:24:04. > :24:07.society. A group of Brownies are judging the very best of hundreds of
:24:08. > :24:10.weather photos sent to us bx viewers in March. Their runners`up? David
:24:11. > :24:12.Pringle's host of golden daffodils at Warkworth Castle in
:24:13. > :24:19.Northumberland, out weeks e`rlier than last year after the mild start
:24:20. > :24:22.to spring. I think it is because it portrays spring quite well with the
:24:23. > :24:25.yellow flowers and nice castle in the background, and the sunny sky
:24:26. > :24:28.And this image from Margaret Whittaker, an intriguing formation
:24:29. > :24:37.made as stratocumulus breaks up over Longframlington near Alnwick. It
:24:38. > :24:43.reminds me of a pair wings, and a giant pair of lips in the sky. Their
:24:44. > :24:48.winner? Adrian Potts and his family in Houghton`le`Spring in Cotnty
:24:49. > :24:52.Durham. I like the winner bdcause it looks like people are celebrating,
:24:53. > :25:04.and it is turning into spring and it's a nice picture. Back to you in
:25:05. > :25:08.the studio. Adrian's shot whll now become the March page in our 20 5
:25:09. > :25:17.calendar, sold in aid of Chhldren in Need.
:25:18. > :25:28.Congratulations Adrian. This weekend there will be a lot of cloud and
:25:29. > :25:32.rain again, especially in the west. It does stay pretty mild ovdrnight.
:25:33. > :25:39.Temperatures pretty high. There will be a lot cloud tonight, mostly dry
:25:40. > :25:43.though. One or two gaps appdar, but if you mist patches. The cloud
:25:44. > :25:47.begins upon the west and we will see is patchy rain getting into western
:25:48. > :25:52.part of Cumbria. Temperaturds for most of us no colder than fhve
:25:53. > :25:58.Celsius. It'll be cool in Northumberland. There are a few gaps
:25:59. > :26:02.in the cloud. It is a mostlx dry start tomorrow, a bit of brhghtness
:26:03. > :26:06.but this figure cloud in thd west will spread eastwards as we head
:26:07. > :26:11.through the day. It'll be intermittent and more persistent
:26:12. > :26:15.across Cumbria. It will be reasonably mild wave a
:26:16. > :26:27.south`westerly breeze. Tempdratures of deporting Celsius. That hs the
:26:28. > :26:35.picture for tomorrow. That weather front bridges cloud. Will sdek cloud
:26:36. > :26:39.and rain, and another one f`lls with the south`westerly winds. Bx the
:26:40. > :26:44.time you get a Tuesday, high pressure starts to build up and that
:26:45. > :26:48.bodes well for the week ahe`d. Some fine and dry weather to be had in
:26:49. > :26:52.the middle of the week. If xou are out and about of the weekend there
:26:53. > :27:00.will be a fair amount of wind and there will be rain, especially in
:27:01. > :27:05.the west, but temperatures puite respectable. Next week, Monday still
:27:06. > :27:10.has a lot of cloud and rain here and there. Eastern areas seen the best
:27:11. > :27:16.of any bright spells, and as we head into Wednesday it cools down a bit.
:27:17. > :27:21.If you think you have the able weather picture that should feature
:27:22. > :27:24.on this show, we would love to see it. You can find out what wd're
:27:25. > :27:40.after on the BBC North webshte. That is it from us this Friday. We
:27:41. > :27:45.are back later tonight. Good night.
